Author Bio

Sarah Andrews has an unusual background in design, having initially studied spatial sciences at university before working for a large engineering company in London. While successful in her professional life, she was ultimately unfulfilled, and went back to university to follow her passion design. Almost immediately, she found strong links between her scientific studies and design, and has used that knowledge to inform her work on designing interiors. A keen sailor, she found the dry land equivalent of a boat in Captains Rest, an unpretentious shack she renovated in a remote part of the Tasmanian west coast, which has gone on to be globally iconic. Since then, Sarah has styled and decorated a number of other houses and businesses for clients. She also runs her styling and hosting school internationally this has produced an enormous number of successful students, whose work has appeared in many of the worlds best publications.
